    Found some on the lower leaves tonight. Gutted. Did my best to hunt and destroy but ye never get them all. Just a warning that they are about now.

    Yes, I went home after reading this and found a few on the lower leaves. Picked and sprayed but they are coming back. I will have to keep at them.

    Tons of flowers on the plants too, have big hopes. Had another look last night and there were still loads of caterpillars, and they're getting fatter!! They make a right green mess of your fingers.

    Has anyone tried shaking them off?
    I know you are supposed to put a sheet underneath.

    It has always seemed a lot of work to me and I never felt it actually worked as well as it should (unless you have very few bushes off course I suppose)

    I believe it can work well, but that's only when they are high up enough. It's early days on my plants so they are all down low so I cant shake them. Those thorns are nice and sharp :)
